    Lighting issue on rigged character

    Posted by Scott Gaskin on October 10, 2012 at 10:05 pm

    Hi there,

    Please see attached screen grab. As you can see when using lights to cast shadows on my rigged character i’m getting these annoying shadows where the joints meet. Can anyone offer a reason for this and a possible workaround?

    Thanks

    Scott

    It seems that the shadows are forming where the two layers overlap each other.

    If you Turn off the Receive shadows of the layers which are below the top layers, the shadows will not be there.
